“A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.”
— Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Oh, I hate to be ordinary.
In three months I will be taking off on a new adventure to the other side of the world…Indonesia. This has been in the works for over a year, ever since I applied for and received a government fellowship to study global education.
Just a few days ago I received my foreboding travel itinerary, which requires nearly 48 hours of travel time to make over 8,800 miles from California to Jakarta. The thought of a 14+ plane flight kinda freaks me out, actually.
And the thought of leaving my children for two entire weeks…terrifying.
As the countdown begins, I’ve embarked on a new blogging adventure, travels with mamawolfe. I’m not entirely sure what the future holds for mamawolfe, but I know that there will be plenty of stories to tell and images to share as I take flight.
Come travel with me! I promise to share it all with you!

April 16, 2012Yeah you! It’s going to be an amazing experience. I just heard today that I’ll be teaching Pilates in Martha’s Vineyard for the summer. It’s not Jakarta, or Dubia, where I was last summer, but it will be a new experience nonetheless. So happy for you!
Jennifer Wolfe
April 17, 2012Martha’s Vineyard…that sounds lovely. You must be looking forward to a different experience-I imagine Dubai was challenging. Thanks for the comment!

April 16, 2012Uh-oh, I never travel anywhere and I love it. Does this mean i’m of inferior talent?
Jennifer Wolfe
